i tried in the cx_freeze github issue tracker but got no replies abou this, apologies if it's bad manners to post both there and on this list...
hi there, i'm trying to use cx_freeze to bundle a python 3.6.1 gui app on osx 10.10.5 but encountering some problems i'm at a loss how to troubleshoot. build and build_exe work fine, however, when i run with bdist_mac i get the following: build ... runs fine build_exe ... runs fine then i get output as follow: create_plist() setRelativeReferencePaths() @loader_path/.dylibs/liblcms2.2.dylib setRelativeReferencePaths() then a whole series of errors like this (one for each library file): error: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/install_name_tool: input file: build/ImageCat.app/Contents/MacOS/lib/python3.6/collections/init.pyc is not a Mach-O file error: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/install_name_tool: input file: build/ImageCat.app/Contents/MacOS/lib/python3.6/collections/abc.pyc is not a Mach-O file [...] then: error: can't copy '@loader_path/.dylibs/liblcms2.2.dylib': doesn't exist or not a regular file after all this there is no dist folder created (or nothing in it if already there). in the build folder there is a bundled .app created, however if i try to run this it just flashes up in the dock for a second and then aborts. however, if i navigate inside the created app bundle to the MacOS folder and run the executable there it runs as expected!! so, my questions are: how can i get the bdist_mac to complete? why does the bundled app instantly abort while the executable runs properly? how can i debug what's happening when the bundled app fails to run properly? tia for any help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ cx-freeze-users mailing list cx-freeze-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/cx-freeze-users
